Ways To Make Money That Actually Work
Want to make a million dollars while you sleep? Systematize your business, today.
Interested in generating passive income? You need a website. It's the way to make money while you sleep. I don't recommend learning coding from scratch as it could take months, if not years to fully master. Most people and organizations use content management systems (CMS) to build and manage their websites. CMS’s like Wordpress are powerful but have a learning curve. Website builders are less powerful but easier to use and no knowledge required. If you have the skills to create and/or design websites, you can make up to a few extra thousand dollars a month doing it on the side. Check out some of the listings on FlexJobs to see any would work for you.
If you've got a good presence on social media or perhaps you even have a blog or website, you can start bringing in money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online. Many online companies who sell products such as shoes, web-hosting spaces, or some other service, usually offer an affiliate program. You can simply sign up for the program and get your unique tracking link. Now, whenever you are writing about their product, you can simply use this special tracking affiliate link to recommend the company’s site.

It could be recording phrases, categorising photographs, giving your opinion on a website or anything else.

Buy and sell domain names
A domain name is just a website address (eg. 'opoo.co' or 'nomoly.com') and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co, .uk etc). Since 2013, more than 183 million domain names have been registered but none of these is used. A large chunk of these domain names is hoarded by domain flippers who will then resell these domain names to new buyers.

Become a market research participant.
The ultimate goal of market research is to deliver a clear signal of market viability - or more commonly, non-viability - of a new product or service. In other words, it’s to indicate whether or not the market even wants the solution. There are several well-known market research companies that regularly recruit focus group participants. In some cases, the companies operate both online and in-person focus groups. Here are some of companies that you could consider: Swagbucks, 20/20 Panel, Adler Weiner Research, MindSwarms, Plaza Research, Nichols Research, Focusgroup...

Flip real estate contracts
Flipping a real estate contract involves transferring your interest in the contract (also known as assigning) to a third party. The key is to negotiate a lucrative deal with the seller so that you can receive a profit when you bring in a buyer. In order to flip a contract, negotiate the sales price and terms with a seller. Have the seller sign the agreement along with you. There are companies dedicated to teaching how to do this like REWW.
